Ultimately, what distinguishes They Fight is that it doesn’t reach for the knockout. It wins on points, steadily piling up emotional victories until its themes of redemption and forgiveness leave you grappling for the Kleenex box. Read full review

The film’s nuanced moments are found in that encircling amity in which they all fight. Read full review
